A guy at work is getting a 6-speed 2018 GT PP1 with a dealer-installed Roush package / 2.65 TVS blower. From what I understand, they make about 700 crank HP. I'm wondering how we will fare against each other if we line up one day.

I have a 14 GT500 with a 2.8LC KB Stage 3 kit @ ~17-18 PSI, Lund tune, catless H-pipe, drag radials, 4.10 gears in a Moser M9. I guess I'd be in the low 700 WHP ballpark...a pretty comfortable edge... but I haven't really seen an S550 with a 2.65 VMP in action. I haven't been on the dyno or to the track. Opinions?

You’ll take him if you can drive, can you?
Also if you don’t want to worry about that, run some octane and a smaller pulley.

I won't say I'm the best driver, but I'm not the worst. I can at least look good with the N2MB box that is in the car....lol. I guess i'm wondering how well the S550 chassis with that package plants 600+ hp on the street vs the S197 GT500.

305 Nitto 555r's...they need a lot of heat in them to hook. The suspension is all BMR in the back. If the tires aren't heated, it's like trying to take off in an oil slick with PawPaw's 460cid open diff F-150 shoed with whitewall P215-65R15 Cornell 808s.

Lol...no shit talking or challenges have been made. The company I work for has an extreme safety culture, so it would probably go down randomly unannounced, far from work. There's another guy with a stock m6 hellcat....haven't exchanged punches with him either. He's scared though.

You got this man. Clean off the tires and knock back a few shifts to restore the muscle memory then have a camera ready.
It’s winter here I’m bored
Pick on the Hellcat too, there slugs with the stick. 2.29 first gear, 4400# haha.
